Rugger

wasn't long after we had finished lunch that we were back at base camp, some of us having wetted our feet while crossing the stream. Later that night we had another camp fire.

On the morning of the 19th April we woke again at 7.30 a.m. and were on the road to York by 9.30 a.m. We stopped in Appleby for a snack at 10.35 a.m. arriving in York at 1.30 p.m. when we put up the tents to air. Our thanks go to Mr. Coulthard and Mr. Duncan for all the hard work that went into making this a most successful expedition.

SCOUT TROOP

The majority of the time this term has been devoted to the group projects. The canoe is half built, the cine group have some good time-lapse photography of the traffic going under the new bridge and the natural history group helped with many biological exhibits for the Science Exhibition.

Harding has joined the troop this term. Linguist badges were gained by Broom, G. Fisher, Hepworth and Washington and Camper badges by R. Cooper, Goodrick, I. Gill and R. MacLeod. The latter were obtained by attending a seven week course run at the School by Mr. D. Broadley and we are grateful to him for sparing the time to take the course.

The annual summer camp from 25th July to 1st August will be held in the Isle of Man and it is hoped that as many scouts as possible will be able to attend.
